The noose is tightening around Sandro Tonali. Like other young Italian players, the Newcastle midfielder is involved in an illicit sports betting affair. In addition, the transalpine international with 17 caps is accused of having bet on AC Milan matches, a practice formally prohibited by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). Excluded from the last gathering of the Squadra Azzurra on the occasion of the international break in October, the 23-year-old player decided to collaborate with the Italian justice system while agreeing to be psychologically monitored in an attempt to eradicate his addiction to games .
While awaiting his trial, Sandro Tonali risks a heavy sanction according to the indiscretions of the Gazzetta dello Sport. Indeed, the transalpine media reports that the native of Lodi could be deprived of all professional sporting activity for 12 months by the Italian body and at the same time follow compulsory therapy. As a reminder, Juventus Turin midfielder Nicolo Fagioli received a 7-month suspension.
